Event Summary

AI capabilities are developing at an extraordinary pace, so what are the next steps for accelerating AI adoption in public services? Many public sector leaders are moving towards agentic AI.

Taking place in London on Thursday 24th September, we are pleased to announce that our second annual AI in the Public Sector Conference: Gaining an Agentic Advantage will focus on deploying AI and agentic automation in UK public services.​

As demand on public services continues to rise, the conference brings together experts from across central and local government, housing, police, criminal justice, education, health, and the tech sector to understand how AI and agentic AI can help to drive transformation in the public sector. Facing challenges with legacy systems, skills shortages, governance, procurement complexity, data security, and public trust, how will the Government’s AI vision of ‘personalised, predictive, and self-improving public services’ be achieved?

Hear from early pioneers from across the public sector, and how they are identifying and realising high-value AI and agentic AI opportunities and use cases. We will address results from trials across departments. Discover how AI is already transforming core public sector services, enhancing policing and justice, modernising education and learning, holding the promise of ‘always on’ health.

Gain insight from those on the frontline of AI deployment who are ‘learning by doing’, from building the business case and ROI where traditional measures of value may not apply, defining new metrics for performance and preparing the runaway from pilot to production.

Trust has emerged as a crucial faultline for the development of AI. Drawing on real-life experiences, take away insights on the governance of AI and agentic AI. Discover how best practice is emerging in translating legal and ethical guidelines into effective AI governance and risk management practice – setting risk thresholds and optimising governance around explainability and human oversight.

Successfully deploying agentic AI in the public sector requires a strategic approach. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with policymakers, innovators and AI leaders and stay ahead at this time of rapid technological change.​
